In this happy festal hour 
With thine altar all aglow."

My little fairies deft of hand 

And brownies good and true, 
Come, with your gifts before me stand, 

And pass in quick review. 
I hear upon the frozen track, 

The steeds of Santa Claus, 
From earthward journey hast'ning back 

For other games and toys. 
Then if your work is finished quite, 

When Santa shall appear, 
We'll hold our festal ball to-night, 

When stars are shining clear.

I have journeyed afar since the dusk of eve, 
I have flown o'er my unseen way. 



CHRISTMAS EXERCISE. 49 

I have peeped in the homes where care and grief 
Borrowed no hope for the glad Christmas day. 

Is there aught that my children so dear, 

When around them the night wings were furled, 

Have seen in their visions so clear, 
Of wants of the slumb'ring world. 

Little fairy steps forth and recites: 

I saw in a dream of earth last night, 

A gloomy garret cold and bare, 
At work alone by the feeble light, 

Sat maiden with golden hair, 
And a tear shone in her eye so bright, 

For Santa never entered there. 
So I fashioned this doll with loving skill, 

And decked her garments bright, 
When Santa Claus comes her wish to fulfill, 

To place at her door to-night. 

(Passes the doll to Santa.) 

Browie — "I have worked all day upon this sled 
For little crippled Dick." 

A Ghoul — u And I have for that naughty Tom, 

This ugly crooked stick." 
Fairy — U A mirror here for pouting Nell 

Her discontent to spy." 

Fairy (with closed box) — "A secret here no need to tell, 
Till the lid wide open fly." 

Fairy — U A book for Susan,"

Fairy — U A drum for Johnnie," 
Brownie — u And a hoop for Tan."

We each have woven a flower, 

Into this garland of beauty, 
To adorn in this festal hour, 

A child who swerved not from duty. 

Santa Claus. 

You see that your gifts have laden my pack, 

My reindeers without areprancing, 
To the waiting children I hasten back, 

While the mid-night stars are glancing. 
Go join in you revels till break of day, 

With harmony so entrancing. 
May the halo of Christmas round you play, 

Your festival joy enhancing. 

Curtain, or exit Santa Claus. All sing: 

Away to our revels we haste with glee, 
To dream no more of the Christmas tree. 

We'll join in the dance light hearted and free, 
As the rippling waves that cover the sea. 

(Repeat softly, exit while repeating. )
